Active Bounties

If you see active bounties on github.com/gnolang/bounties, it is still active!

3. Retrospective on CosmosHub software contracts from the ICF and related entities

• Investigation into case studies (motivated by recent gravity bridge discussions).
• Proposal for legal clauses to add to software projects funded by such entities.
• A plan to create an oversign committee funded by the Cosmos Hub.
• 1000 ATOMs from @jaekwon, but first get approval for plan.
• Unspecified amount of GNOTs, amount pending plan for general tasks (coming soon).

4. Port JOESON to Go

• github.com/jaekwon/joescript
• The intent is to create an independent left-recursive PEG parser for Gno.
• Optional: port Joescript or Javascript.
• 1000 ATOMs from @jaekwon
• More GNOTs than from #3.

8. BETACOIN for Cosmos

• STOP, ON HOLD -- WORKING ON #7.
• Related to bounty #7.
• See https://nitter.net/jaekwon/status/1501625690549936132#m
• 4000 ATOMs from @jaekwon
• Significantly more GNOTs than prior bounties
• Continued partership with GNO

9. Keplr or similar for GNO contracts

• See https://gno.land/r/boards?funcs for example contract endpoints
• Significant GNOTs; negotiable.
• Continued partership with GNO

10. Use GO typechecker

• Rename .go to .gno where appropriate
• Make gno precompiler (which comes before preprocessor) compile .gno to .go in same folder.
• "gno.land/r/realm" in .gno becomes "github.com/gnolang/gno/examples/gno.land/r/realm" in .go.
• "std" becomes "github.com/gnolang/gno/stdlibs/stdshim" (?)
• keeps a whitelist of stdlib packages (to prevent attacks, to prevent compiling malware).
• Precompiler tries to compile the translated .go code using go, before proceeding.
• Solves this: gnolang/gno#107
• 500 ATOMs
• Significantly more GNOTs than prior bounties

Completed Bounties

1. Get CosmosHub 1,2,3 blockchain data

• Must upload raw blockchain data to S3 link or similar
• Link may be private, contact for private transfer (we will publish for public separately)
• Also coordinate on ION governance telegram chat for updates t.me/IONGovernanceWorkingGroup
• 1000 OSMO from @jaekwon
• COMPLETE: sunny referred to interchain link.
• SUMMARY.

2. Derive governance history using script on CosmosHub 1,2,3,4 data

• Must share github or gitlab link to script repo
• Also coordinate on ION governance telegram chat for updates t.me/IONGovernanceWorkingGroup
• 5000 OSMO from @jaekwon
• Unspecified amount of GNOTs, amount pending plan for general tasks (coming soon).
• SUMMARY.

5. Make script for Backup Keys

• We can't know that there hasn't been a leak of private keys via some unknown mechanism.
• A large scale theft is almost inconceivable, but possible for all one knows.
• Such a large scale theft is the only existential risk to cosmos/crypto.
• Create a simple English document and Go code for the following procedures:
  • create a backup secp256k1 AND ed25519 pubkeys on an airgapped offline computer.
  • use gnokey.
  • use custom entropy (e.g. dice-rolls).
  • ask everyone on Cosmos to publish both backup pubkeys by sending a transaction with memo to a null address bech32(20 zero bytes).
• Use the same bip39/bip32 construction for the secp256k1 privkey/pubkey.
• Use only sha256() for the ed25519 privkey/pubkey and an alternative sha256-based KDF function (may need to modify gno/pkgs & gnokey.
• Include instructions for building this binary from a verified build of Go.
• 1000 ATOMs from @jaekwon
• Same number of GNOTs as #4.
• See https://github.com/gnolang/bounties/issues/15 for discussion on goals.
• SUMMARY TODO. see gnolang/gno#98; also tallying

6. Calculate the delegations of the ICF

• This is an exercise in keeping public institutions accountable.
• Use publicly verifiable information to track the current AND historic delegations of the ICF.
• Any code and data must be well organized, commented, and easy to grok.
• Create a table of historic and current delegators, and their identities and respective owners.
• Unspecified number of ATOMs and GNOTs depending on difficulty.
• SUMMARY.

7. Snapshot fork of the CosmosHub

• UPDATE: see https://github.com/gnolang/bounties/issues/24#issuecomment-1094298684
• Genesis distribution from well structured Go code.
• See https://nitter.net/jaekwon/status/1504231750725083138#m
• Does not need to use CosmosHub1,2,3; only from CosmosHub4.
• 2000 ATOMs from @jaekwon
• Significantly more GNOTs than prior bounties
• Start negotiation on design spec submission
• SUMMARY.
